Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) integrating fluorescence sensing and photocatalytic functions remain challenging to construct due to competing structural requirements. Herein, we report the synthesis, spectral and crystallographic characterization of two novel group organic skeletons composed of 5-(1H tetrazol-5-yl) isophthalic acid (H3L) ligand (formula [Zn2L(H2O)3]n⋅nNO3(Zn2L-MOF-1) and [Pb2L(OH)(H2O)]n⋅nH2O (Pb2L-MOF-2). Single crystal X-ray analysis shows that Zn2L-MOF-1 forms an infinite three-dimensional network structure and a double interpenetrating pcu topology through two symmetrical metal centers and a tetrazolium of L3− ligand. Pb2L-MOF-2 further forms a three-dimensional supramolecular structure through hydrogen bonding between L3− ligand and free water molecules. Zn2L-MOF-1 can be used as an efficient multifunctional fluorescent material for the high sensitivity detection of metal cations Pb2+, Hg2+ and nitrobenzene (NB). The minimum limit of detection (LOD) can reach 10−7 M−1. In addition, Pb2L-MOF-2 was used as a light-driven catalyst for the photodegradation of tetracycline (TC) antibiotics, with a photodegradation rate of 90.16% within 140 min. The possible sensing and photocatalytic mechanism of MOFs is explained through the comprehensive analysis of experiment and molecular orbital theory. This work establishes photoactive 3D MOFs as dual-purpose materials for environmental monitoring and remediation, with topology-dependent property modulation offering new design paradigms.
期刊介绍:
All new compounds should be satisfactorily identified and proof of their structure given according to generally accepted standards. Structural reports, such as papers exclusively dealing with synthesis and characterization, analytical techniques, or X-ray diffraction studies of metal-organic or organometallic compounds will not be considered. The editors reserve the right to refuse without peer review any manuscript that does not comply with the aims and scope of the journal. Applied Organometallic Chemistry publishes Full Papers, Reviews, Mini Reviews and Communications of scientific research in all areas of organometallic and metal-organic chemistry involving main group metals, transition metals, lanthanides and actinides. All contributions should contain an explicit application of novel compounds, for instance in materials science, nano science, catalysis, chemical vapour deposition, metal-mediated organic synthesis, polymers, bio-organometallics, metallo-therapy, metallo-diagnostics and medicine. Reviews of books covering aspects of the fields of focus are also published.
